Anton Bruckner felt at home in St. Florian Abbey where he was a choirboy. He was taught here and later taught himself. He also played the organ on the "Krismannin" in the collegiate church. In this place of the world, he searched for his own identity as an artist. He also returned here for good on his very last journey. At the abbey, for the very first time, the Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024 exhibition showcases the various stages of the composer's life and work. It features a large number of documents from the abbey's archives. Three monumental pavilions in the abbey courtyard invite visitors to experience Bruckner's dreams and visions for themeselves through exciting multimedia presentations.

On 4 a nd 5 May, the weekend on which the exhibition opens its doors, visitors will be granted FREE ADMISSION. Take advantage of our special cultural education programme with individual learning stations to ask questions directly and immerse yourself even deeper in Anton Bruckner's world. Our first Suuuperkultur Family Sunday will take place on 5 May 2024 from 13:00 to 16:00. With "Come - let's colour it in!" as its motto, our special children's and family tour offers a playful insight into Anton Bruckner's biography. No pre-registration is required!
